Fantastic day trip. We were only 2 so got a private tour. Blessed! They picked us up at the hotel, brought cold water. The driver treated us to a croissant. Got a lot of explanation. Top guide! Just a pity that the driver was a bit rushed. The guide told us this himself. But otherwise great experience!
